The first layout I made was of Caela modeling the Tinkerbell shirts, etc. that she has received. The total count of brads and eyelets are 870.
Well, Caela then triple dog dared me to do a layout with 1000. We all know what it means to be triple dog dared into something, so I couldn't pass it up. I told her I would do her 1000 and then add on 500 more, just to prove I could. This is the result of my hard labor. I ended up surpassing the amount for a total of 1900 eyelets and brads.
Here is a close up of the flowers that I made using stamps and watercolor paints, I used the eyelets to follow the stamped design and then assembled the petals into the flowers you see.
The contest ended on Sunday, Feb. 17th, I WON!! All I know is that I won't be touching another brad or eyelet for a little while, so I hope my prize has nothing to do with them. LOL
I remembered fairly quick why I ended up having so many of them. They are a pain in the butt to set, especially the super teeny tiny ones. Good thing I like repetition and that I have a lot of patience. lol

WOW ANITA...I'm sure it was ALOT of work but they came out beautiful!!!
SO AMAZING! I was very impressed with what everyone came up with, but your LO was not only the one with the most, it was my favorite too! BEAUTIFUL! CONGRATS!
HEY LADY!!! How you be????:)
I wanna know is how you'd keep track??? counting them and all????
Wow Sis,
that is indeed a lot of brads and eyelets, but the results are drop dead gorgeous.
I haven's scrapped in a long time. Now my scraproom annex computerroom is a dreadfull mess, because all of the stuff out of our former catroom is stuffed inside it. The catroom is becoming our little ones room.
Hugs,

Hey Rina!
I made sure to count as soon as I finished an area. Each petal has the total written on the back, and I had a notebook to keep tally of the rest of the LO. I had DD count too, just to be sure.
